This is most of the semantic compositions EP by goreshit - a beautiful melancholic journey lasting 11 minutes (the album itself is much longer, this has a good amount of cuts). It consists of three tracks:1. the nature of dying - ~2,860 notes, 12.65 NPS average2. o'er the flood - ~3,336 notes, 13.13 NPS average3. looming shadow of a tree long gone - ~1,260 notes, 18.15 NPS average

Needless to say, looming shadow is the hardest chart in the marathon; for that reason, it is the shortest chart of the bunch. The full chart is available as an individual chart with its own mapset - links provided in the songlist. Little warning as well: if you can't do 222 BPM dense jumpstream - play this on NoFail. Failing after 9 minutes probably isn't all that fun.

Thanks to IcyWorld for making charts for o'er and nature of dying to begin with - while I enjoy my revisions and structure a lot more, the charts that you have made have made for a very clear idea on what I should do for each chart.

Thank you for playing.
